The Feminine Truth

Somehow, Mimi Smartypants managed to capture the essence of the female relationship with a penis (scroll down to #7 plz.)

I can't *wait* to see what my referral logs are now!

Holy Crap.

I can't believe I just saw the Red Sox win a World Series.

What's even more incredible, I can't believe I'm up at midnight after watching a baseball game!!!!

(I blame the hockey lockout.)

Already one class has been cancelled tomorrow and I hear the helicopters whirling overhead as I type (but no sirens). I poked my head out the window and half a block away I heard the whoops and hollers of BoSox fans after a night of hard drinking and even harder praying.

And as all this is going on, the lunar eclipse had just peaked.

Spooky.

Congrats to all the diehard Boston Red Sox fans. I can't cound myself among you necessarily, but I am a New Englander by birthright, and so I feel I can share in a little bit of your celebration.

Musical Saviors

I've been spoiled. In Rochester there is an absolutely fantastic little independant radio station called WBER. This station is a part of the BOCES educational program of NY associated with the public school system in Rochester. Not only do they provide valuable quasi-professional experience for kids in high school but it provides an alternative to commercialized radio.

Now that I live in an area that doesn't seem to have anything remotely similar to WBER I miss it terribly. Luckily I can listen to it online and thank the heavens for that. Over and over again I'd hear a song or new band on WBER only for it to hit 'mainstream' radio about 6 months later, usually while watching a morning show, or walking around a local store.

Of course there are downsides: the DJs are not professional therefore you get a wide range in ability, from high school juniors screwing around with their friends on the air to the station being knocked off-air by a lightning storm, but all is quickly forgiven when they play that new gem from a band you've never heard of months before anybody else.

So if you're looking for an alternative to the Infinitis of the music world, if you *dare* to expand your musical horizons beyond Brit and Eminem, do yourself the favor and try WBER. The plus? No commercials!
